RTW:  Ralph's Tropical Weather

1. I am still monitoring that strong wave that moved off the coast of over night.  NHC is now on board with this wave as well and is giving this wave a LOW Chance 30% within 48 hrs. and High 70% within 5-days. This is the wave to watch as future patterns don't favor for a recurve to the north and away from the east coast. of the U.S.  Still to far out so will continue to watch it closely...RTW

2.  The tropics are popping with another strong wave in the East Caribbean. This wave if forecast to develop some as it track west toward the BOC (Bay of Campeche) Southern Gulf of Mexico.  That may be a threat for Mexico or the Gulf coast.  NHC gives this system a 10% chance within 48 hrs and a Low 20% chance within the 5-days.
